We made the bason deeper, to give the water a more sensible descent; we cut the bottom of a box into narrow planks; increased the channel from the walnut tree to our willow and laying a row flat at the bottom, set two others inclining towards each other, so as to form a triangular channel; we formed a kind of grating with small sticks at the end next the walnut tree, to prevent the earth and stones from stopping it up, and having carefully covered our work with well trodden earth, in a transport of hope and fear attended the hour of watering.
We care not for the terrestrialities of life, when separated from the great principle of the poet 'Omnia vincit amor, et nos cedamus amori. That's Hebrew, Miss Norah!" "They say you know a power of larnin', Misther Dinis." "Yes, I know the seven languages; but what is all that compared to the cardinal virtues.
Boswell asked him how he, who confessed to his love of society and particularly of the society of learned and cultivated men, could be content to pass his life in an island where no such advantages were to be had; to which Paoli replied at once "Vincit amor patriae laudumque immensa cupido."

He would marry Lucy, and he would rebuild the wall: and with every stone he put in place he would shout to the confines of the universe, to the planets where Ellen Webster's spirit lurked, to the grave that harbored her bones: Amor Vincit Omnia! With jubilant step he crossed to the window and looked out. A slender arc of silver hung above the trees, bathing the fields in mystic splendor.
Sprudell meanwhile was revolving in his mind the best method of imparting effectively and dramatically the news which was burdening him. He considered beginning with a Latin quotation from his Vest-Pocket Manual "Labor omnia vincit" or something like that but ended, when he felt the right moment had arrived, by stating the fact bluntly and abruptly: "I'm going to be as rich as Croesus."
And then they flashed out at her as if sprung suddenly to light on the white paper. There, in the beloved handwriting, sure and indelible, she read it, and across the desert of her heart, voiceless but insistent, there swept the hunger-cry of a man's soul: OMNIA VINCIT AMOR.
That the vessels which had visited Otaheite were Spanish, was plain from an inscription that was cut upon a wooden cross, standing at some distance from the front of a house which had been occupied by the strangers. On the transverse part of the cross was inscribed, Christus vincit. And on the perpendicular part, Carolus III. imperat. 1774.
